EDIT: So I found this nice seller on modded PS3's, bought one, but it's coming with this weird "Habib" firmware which I've never heard off. Should I change it when I get it or should I just leave it as it is?

Habib is another firmware by and/or related to Rogero, which you should be familiar with. If it works, why not keep it? I've heard better things about Rebug, which is why I plan on installing it on my PS3, but which is better is subjective.
Yeah, I know there's no absolute better, what I meant was what's different about it, you know? What does it have that other lacks and vice-versa
Here's a very detailed guide from a guy at ps3hax, who also posts here on GBAtemp: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=55639 It's what I used when making my decision. Seemed pretty clearcut.
Nice! It does seem like Rebug is clearly the superior choice. But it does sound kinda complicated to go from Habib 4.50 to rebug 4.46... I'm kinda of (completely) a PS3 noob. This downgrading thing kinda scares me =(
Habib/Rogero/whatever firmware other then Rebug are just quickly pushed out.
Better to wait for a firmware which is tested more.
Which basically comes down to Rebug
But hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Habib and Rogero are often hybrid CFW. That means it mix some files from previous OFW. They showed up faster than Rebug.
Rebug is built from scratch from the same version, and is more stable than other two. Use Rebug whenever possible.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
